00:00The ones in power have the least interest in any climate action because they are the ones

00:06with the minimum stakes there. What does an old minister stand to lose? He would anyway be dead

00:1210 years from here. The most powerful one is probably the most oldest president also ever.

00:17Think of him. The one who is trying to kill the entire climate discourse. He's a very very old

00:23man and that's part of the explanation. He has no future. You say I would be dead and long gone

00:29when the climate effects will intensify. I'll anyway be no longer here. So why should I worry?

00:35Or I'm a rich man. I'm a very rich man. Temperature rises. I simply have to reset my AC. The whole

00:42space gets flooded. I have another mansion to fly away to. Great populations are displaced. Billions

00:47of them. I won't be displaced. There would be great economic loss. Why do I care? I'm a billionaire

00:53already. So if you expect those people to act on their own, this is just wishful thinking.

00:58Then you'll have to awaken the individual so that the one in power listens to you. It's

01:03a big ask and that's what is asked of you. Now pick up the gauntlet. If you just rely on

01:09a Mesihah, on some great Saviour who will do it for you sitting in power, that's never,

01:15never, never, never going to happen.
